A writ of habeas corpus is known as "the great and efficacious writ in all manner of illegal confinement", being a remedy available to the meanest against the mightiest. It is a summons with the force of a court order; it is addressed to the custodian (a prison official for example) and demands that a prisoner be taken before the court, and that the custodian present proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether the custodian has lawful authority to detain the prisoner. If the custodian is acting beyond his or her authority, then the prisoner must be released. Any prisoner, or another person acting on his or her behalf, may petition the court, or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called habeas corpus. For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad ('protection of freedom').
Habeas corpus is a legal action through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention.
Habeas corpus may also refer to:
Habeas Corpus Act 1679, an Act of the Parliament of England passed during the reign of King Charles II to define and strengthen the writ of habeas corpus
Starting with the first Doc Savage story in 1933 and running throughout the pulp adventures a group of recurring characters appeared either as Doc's supporting cast or antagonists.
Ham Brooks is one of the characters referred to as the "The Fabulous Five", the primary assistants of Doc Savage, and first appears with the full name Theodore Marley Brooks.
The character is presented as a Harvard educated lawyer, holding the military rank of brigadier general, and known as a dandy. He is also shown as always carrying sword cane with a blade coated with a knock-out chemical.
He is also shown to love fighting with his friend "Monk" Mayfair. This began during World War I, when a practical joke landed Monk in a military jail. Ham had taught Monk some insulting French words, presenting them as compliments. Monk used them while speaking to a French general and got locked in the guard house. Shortly after that, Ham was framed for stealing a truckload of hams, resulting in his insulting nickname. Ham was able to defend himself, but the fact that he was never able to prove that Monk was behind this has always been a source of irritation for him.
Um pingo de chuva estourou na pedra de gelo do meu whisky Eu lembrei de ti, que sempre quer botar Pingos de I em ipsilon. Ih, o que é que há? Parece até que eu sou um livro mal escrito E que você é uma caneta cor vermelha Rasurando o que não aceita nem consegue decifrar. Outras vezes voce tenta feito louca rasgar as minhas páginas Mal eu esqueço do que lembrei, você aparece: olá! Olá coisa nenhuma é o que me diz Roubando meu whisky pra falar Que eu te beijo como Judas beijou Cristo Pois levo um tempo a imaginar como seria Com que e quando eu trairia o que eu Jamais jurei te dar Põe na minha boca palavras que não são minhas Com voz trêmula e trágica E me ameaça quando diz: Eu vou embora Vá, você tem seu direito de ir e vir Mas eu tenho o meu de querer ficar Não precisa de um pedido de habeas corpus A porta está aberta E me ameaça quando diz: Eu vou embora Vá, você tem seu direito de ir e vir Mas eu tenho o meu de querer ficar Não precisa de um pedido de habeas corpus A porta está aberta Você tem seu direito de ir e vir Mas eu tenho o meu de querer ficar Não precisa de um pedido de habeas corpus A porta está aberta, tchau
